The Entrepreneurs’ Programme has recently offered $11.2 million in commercialisation grants to 24 businesses across Australia. The grants will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the businesses. So far 234 businesses have benefited from the commercialisation funding provided through the Entrepreneurs’ Programme.

What are the grants for?

The Entrepreneurs’ Programme provides financial support and expert advice to businesses to commercialise innovative products, processes and services.

The grants will help businesses undertake development and commercialisation activities like product trials, licensing and manufacturing. Commercialisation Advisers from the Programme will help businesses through the different stages of their product development.

The projects supported by the grants address problems and needs in key industries, including food and agribusiness; oil, gas and energy resources; advanced manufacturing and medical technologies and pharmaceuticals.
